Keep It On Track! A Basic Music Editing Workshop
Learn how to edit your performance music!
Whether you're a drag artist, burlesque performer, clown, circus act, or any kind of live variety entertainer, having tight, tailored audio can take your act from “cute” to “killer.” This beginner-friendly virtual workshop will walk you through the basics of music editing with an emphasis on tools, tricks, and techniques specific to live performance. No prior experience needed—just bring your laptop, headphones, and your creative flair!
We’ll use Audacity (Download here, it's free!) to learn how to:
- Import audio
- Cut and rearrange clips
- Adjust volume
- Creating a basic performance mix
- Exporting and file formatting
We'll also cover best practices for live performance audio, how to prep music for venues and tech crews, and how to avoid common mishaps on show night.
You’ll leave with:
- A custom-edited track of your own
- A cheat sheet of editing shortcuts and file formats
- Confidence to start making your own mixes for shows, reels, and more
This workshop is perfect for:
- Performers who are tired of relying on friends to edit their tracks
- Artists wanting more creative control over their music
